Per BOE, the last few ballots from AD 66 and AD 30 are coming in today. They'll be counted tomorrow, at which point it should be clear whether they meet the threshold (under 0.5%) for an auto recount. Would be next week at the earliest.

AD30 almost certainly going to a recount

Following last week's primary victories, Mayor Mamdani has been hailed as a kingmaker and political boss.

But he isn't really building his own political machine. He's working with NYC-DSA (though the two don't always see eye-to-eye) to build a movement. https://t.co/CF94tPSCZF

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The flood of billionaire money that will come against Graham Platner is no accident.

Whether it is AI, AIPAC or crypto, billionaire-funded super PACs will spend hundreds of millions to defeat candidates who stand with working people and challenge their power.

In the last 15 months, we have recruited over 8,500 Americans to run for office at every level of government.

Today, I am proud to endorse 61 progressives running for state and local office across America.

They will fight for the kind of changes our country desperately needs.

Bernie has posted the full list of endorsements. In addition to those 9 DSA candidates above, it includes Maurice Brown (Syracuse DSA), JGR, Yuh-Line Niou, Shamsul Haque, Eli Northrup and Dan Livingston.

[Shamsul Haque @Shamsul4Queens]

We are deeply honored to be endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders

For decades, Bernie has fought tirelessly for working people, tenants, unions, and a government that serves ordinary people — not billionaires and corporate interests. His movement has inspired millions across this country, including right here in Queens.

This endorsement is a privilege, and a reminder that this campaign is about building a political movement in New York that works for the working class.

Let’s win this together.

We’ve got so many events to choose from this week, all across our wonderful District 30, sign-up and join us out here!

Queens is built by working people, and we can’t afford to let our neighbors get priced-out

We’re canvassing everyday this week except Monday, it’s sunny, it’s warm out, come join us and knock some doors 🚪

Instead of addressing the affordability crisis and providing relief for working-class Americans, Donald Trump once again sides with Netanyahu and regime change in Iran.

This MUST stop—and Democrats must unite against this. NO NEW WARS.

NEW: Meet the ex-cop running for Assembly to deliver on Mayor Mamdani's agenda https://t.co/Bks961XpdH

“The wars of the future are being planned here in Israel.”

If somebody opposed to the genocide in Gaza said this, they would be smeared as an antisemite.

[Raj Goyle @RajGoyle]

Thank you for having us at @Riseup4newyork's 3rd Annual Leadership Summit! It was great hearing directly from community leaders across the five boroughs that are shaping the progressive New York movement.

[David Orkin @david4queens]

The Bangladeshi community is such an important and vibrant part of our city. So grateful to attend @Riseup4newyork’s candidate forum, connect with friends, and speak directly on how we can change NYC for the workers who run it!

HAPPENING NOW:
Councilman @OsseChi rallying outside the governor's office, pressing for an eviction moratorium and more reforms to combat deed theft-- were homeowners, often people of color, are swindled out of their homes.

[Jacob N. Kornbluh @jacobkornbluh]

Schumer:

“I have many jobs as leader.. and one is to fight for aid to Israel — all the aid that Israel needs. I will continue to fight for it.

“We delivered more security assistance to Israel, our ally, under my leadership than ever, ever before. We will keep doing that.”

A vehicle attack on the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn is deeply disturbing. Hate crime is not acceptable—ever. #hatecrime

The Pentagon’s 2027 budget is set to hit $1.5 trillion, preparing for the next big war—yet we’re told there’s no money to make public college tuition free.
